I need help, I'm taking a speech class and I our last speech is to do a Controversial Persuasive speech, but IDK what to do it on.

I know that I do not want to do it something like Abortion or anything cliche and I do not want to bore them with shit about politics and gas prices.

I want to do something like "Lets kill all the Bums!" or something like that.

Something to raise eyebrows but also allow them to question things.
\
Just like suggest something that can be proven, you know something I can back up with facts.

I love talking to a class about controversial topics. I did my Senior project on torture methods. :D

Here are some ideas.

castration
cousin marriage
more executions
torture as a form of punishment

How bout coming up with an argument supporting the idea that different regions of the U.S. can adopt whatever official language suites them.

I think I'm focusing on three topics

"ALL WOMEN CAN ONLY HAVE TWO KIDS, A LAW BEING PLACED FORCING WOMEN WTH 2 KIDS TO GET THEIR TUBES TIDED, UNLESS THEY HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY TO HAVE MORE"

"COLLEGE SHOULDN'T BE FORCEFED TO STUDENTS AS BEING THE ONLY WAY OUT"

"GOING GREEN DOESN'T DO SHIT"

If you want a more cerebral topic...

We have the right to Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Happiness... does that right give us the right to do Wrong? And if not, who decides what is Wrong and why do They have the Right to decide it?

I do agree with this,but feel you should also add male vasectomies to your argument,there are plenty of careless men out there as well.

dude some of the people that i know should not have kids... take this one girl for instance... brought her baby home...thought her new born felt warm... took his temp... it was 94... she gave him 2 much baby asprin and had to take the kid to the hospital (the same day she brought him home mind you) because she gave him tablespoon instead of teaspoon. and she worked in a day care in the infants room for 3 years before she had this kid.

thats a great debate

dude some of the people that i know should not have kids...I work in the foster care system, so a lot of the people I know are in the same boat.

Wasn't saying it was a bad topic, just a long-standing issue.

well i did my speech on the subject i originally chose which was limiting the amount of children a family can have, and might i say it blew the fucking house down! im not gloating but it stirred up much commotion but no one could disagree with it because i made sure to close all loose ends
